ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — To hear US Representative John F. Tierney tell it, there was nothing unusual three years ago when he and his wife traveled to this tiny Caribbean island 300 miles east of Puerto Rico for dinner with his brother-in-law Robert Eremian.
“Dinner at my wife’s brother’s house. I don’t think that people would think that’s extraordinary,” Tierney said at a recent news conference.

Let me see if I have this right. A judge gave permission for Eremian to leave the Country while on probation where the probation Department had no Jurisdiction and to conduct a business that no one knew about which millions of dollars flowed through. There must be some sort of a misprint in this story? Right?
Two facts are clear here and neither are good for the Congressman. One, he knew it all and is as guilty as the brothers. Two, he didn't know a thing which makes him a moron that has no right being dog catcher, never mind a member of Congress.
Tierney, seriously?
Let's talk about John Tierney, Ray Donovan and Mario Cuomo. It is difficult to read and reread the Globe's stories about John Tierney. Always deeply buried is the fact that the Justice Department that sent DiMasi to jail cleared Tierney of any wrong-doing. Nowhere to be found is any sympathy for the fact that his low-life in-laws are the issue here, not anything that Tierney has done. Why isn't the Globe (much less, the Herald) going after Judge Tauro who sent Eremian off to Antigua with his blessings? Why exactly should Tierney have launched an investigation into the Antigua activities of an in-law he despised when he had far more important things to do…the stuff he was elected to do? Which brings me to MARIO CUOMO. I think one of the reasons Cuomo declined to run for President was that, not only his Republican opponents, but the megaphone press would have made every blemish of every Italian American (not only Cuomo's relatives) the issue in a national campaign. His position on the economy? Not important. What about his connection to trash haulers, clearly known Mafia fronts? Finally, Ronald Reagan's Labor Secretary, RAY DONOVAN, who famously asked, "Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?" Does the Globe know which office that is? John Tierney might need to know after the Globe gets done with him.
It all sounds very believable! I think he should be re-elected!
Tierney will get re-elected because his opponent is a Repbulican. That's all he needs. The moronic voters of Massachusetts re-elected Teddy, didn't they, and his "crime" was infinitely more serious than Tierney's.
